The Year of Prime ... Random Acts of Publicity!

Random Acts of Publicity was started by the amazing Darcy Pattison, a tireless blogger, author, and promoter of great children's literature ... great literature, in fact.

So to begin celebrating my Random Acts of Publicity Week, I'm going to howl out to three amazing, talented authors whose work blows me away. (Not to mention the fact they're pretty amazing people!) The first HOWL, literally, goes out to:

CHRISTINE JOHNSON'S sequel to Claire de Lune, Nocturne, was released a couple of weeks ago to a hoard of happy fans waiting to find out what will happen with our, ahem, hairy heroine, Claire. :-)
Adventure, a little bit of blood (they're werewolves, remember?), romance, tension, and surprising twists make this a great read.










Fans of SCONES will be thrilled to hear LINDSAY ELAND has another book in the works. This light-hearted read about Polly, a misguided matchmaker, is quirky, funny, and a great break from the insanity of real life. It's the perfect choice for hopeless romantics and Jane Austin fans ... cynics and more!












Welcome to the world of steampunk, anamatrons, and pretty much the creepiest Harlequin on the planet. KATE MILFORD's take on making deals with the devil throws us into a dusty, summertime world of a small town in his clutches. Natalie Minks, our heroine, takes us on the ride of our lives.












A favorite element that all these novels has is a strong heroine -- flawed, unique, and really insanely determined. It's wonderful to see lit applaud the strength of female characters, turn cliches upside down and shake them up a bit.

Happy reading! And please spread the word about YOUR favorite novels. All week, I'll be howling out novels that I love and just happen to know the authors. (How cool is that?)
